Erick Erickson Compares Gays To ISIS

RedState editor Erick Erickson has previously called gay Americans "terrorists." Today he flat-out compares us to ISIS in a post about the Washington state florist.

In Denmark, France, and elsewhere we have seen Islamic extremists take lives because of the Islamic extremists’ beliefs. They do not want tolerance. They do not want pluralism. They do not want to show respect to the views of others. They will take life for being offended. There will be no magnanimity and there will be no mercy. In taking life, the Islamic extremists want the public spectacle. They want not just revenge, but they also want to make others fear and second guess doing the same. They want to silence others and drive them from the town square. They use death and violence to do it. Gay rights activists, with few exceptions like Floyd Lee Corkins and the guy in North Carolina last week, have not turned physically violent. But they are intent on destroying any who disagree with them. They will take the homes, businesses, and life savings of any who defy them. They will use the tools of the state and mob action through boycotts, fear, and intimidation to make it happen. They will not kill but they will threaten and scare. The divide between Islamic extremists and gay rights extremists is at death. They meet on the line at destruction.

There have only been a handful of LGBT-related public accommodations cases in the many years since such laws were instituted in fewer than half of the states. But we're terrorists to ask a business to take our money.
